Hibiscus Tea

Certain things carry a meaning that goes beyond their presence as objects, they retain a sentimental value. Who has never met a mother who holds some old clothes of her beloved baby, or a bride who keeps her wedding dress as a treasure?

By pure coincidence I came across a vintage sewing kit box that probably hasn’t been used in years and I believe it possesses a sentimental value.

Opening it brought back strong feelings and old memories about my grandmother and while I was experiencing it I enjoyed a cup of tea. My choice of drink at that time was hibiscus tea and what is better than a cup of tea while enjoying old memories?

Hibiscus tea is associated with many benefits, for example: it contains a high amount of vitamin C, it helps to reduce blood pressure, it works as an antioxidant, and even it helps to lose weight. As tea may have side effects pay attention to the amount you drink according to your health situation.
